What Our Clients Say

Questions?

Our unsecured loans are designed to be faster and more flexible than traditional bank loans. While bank loans often require lengthy application processes and extensive paperwork, our loan applications are very simple and can be approved and paid out in as little as 24 hours, helping your business access the funds it needs quickly.

Our alternative lenders assess multiple factors, including your business’s financial health and your credit score. If other aspects of your application are strong, our lenders often approve loans despite a less-than-perfect credit history.

Our loans are designed only for established businesses that have been trading for at least 6 months and can meet our other loan requirements.

In the case of late payments (unsuccessful debit orders) our lenders may charge you a late payment fee. In the case of non-payments (a continued failure to pay) our lenders will hand over your account to their attorneys for collection.
